It's become an annual tradition for us to start the summer immediately after exams are over by getting away. While we lived in Europe this usually meant a week in an isolated Irish village....
These days it means going to the beach on Hilton Head Island. The summer heat is not too extreme, the crowds are less, and there are no stinging jellyfish, though plenty of sea creatures to see....
Gabi brought two friends and we rented a nice house on Palmetto Dunes Plantation.
We enjoyed the surf and sand,
built some sand castles and critters,
read books,
rode bikes through the plantation,
participated in a sea-kayaking adventure, had a nice meal out at Hudson's and played minigolf! The girls headed back to ATL on Friday while Ken made a little detour excursion to Savannah, Georgia's historic colonial city, where he visited the beautiful Bonaventure Cemetery (click for more pics here) and the Telfair Academy.
Savannah is great, but probably one of those places you should visit when the temps are below 80 degrees!
All in all, a great way to start off the summer!
